Peridance Contemporary Dance Company (PCDC) has been a powerhouse of energetic and evocative dance since its inception in 1983. The Company, making its SummerStage debut, is known for Artistic Director Igal Perry’s timelessly elegant and brilliantly musical choreography, and has an illustrious performance history at venues including the Joyce Theater, the Rose Theater at Lincoln Center, and internationally in Italy, Israel, South Korea and Bulgaria. PCDC, housed within Peridance Capezio Center in New York’s Union Square, is comprised of classically trained dancers from across the globe. The performance will include showings of “Face to Face” with choreography by Norbert De La Cruz III, and Igal Perry’s, “Gran Partita,” which recently premiered in March of 2018.
